Chapter 117: Maid

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Wanqiu’s fas.h.i.+on had always been astounding, especially after eating Jiang He’s corn—there was wind in her very stride, and her entire body was overflowing with glamor and confidence.

“Yo?”

“What brought you here, Miss Mu?”

Jiang He teased, and poked his head out to look at her car outside. “Is Miss Wu not with you?”

“What?”

Mu Wanqiu chuckled. “Missing my bestie?”

Studying Jiang He, she then said, “My bestie likes you a lot, but in Lingzhou City, she is still the chief of Department of Education (DOE) and the director of the Martial Arts Academy (MAA). That said, she would be moved to tears if you take up the post as an a.s.sistant director or something, and just might repay you with her body.”

Heh.

Jiang He smiled but said nothing.

‘What do you mean, like me?

‘She is only aiming for my body, please!’

Mu Wanqiu noticed Jiang He’s mansion then, and could not help exclaiming in surprise, “Your house...”

“Mail ordered.” Jiang He answered—whether that was true and whether Mu Wanqiu and the others would believe it was their own problem.

“Do you have something for me?” He asked after that. “Come, let’s talk inside. My dinner might be ready now.”

Jiang He opened the door with an inviting gesture.

Mu Wanqiu entered the mansion interestedly, studying her surroundings and smiling, “I really envy your pastoral life... I would have moved in with you if I wasn’t too busy with my work.”

However, Jiang He did not seem to hear Mu Wanqiu.

He was looking around in confusion.

Where was his maid?

Where was Sora?

Why was there no one in the kitchen?

And there were no dishes served on the dinner table either.

Could there be a time limit on his maid’s existence? And she would disappear automatically once it was time?

That should not be the case, should it?

Nonetheless, Mu Wanqiu noticed the look on Jiang He’s face and asked, “What’s wrong, Jiang He? Oh, right. There are two things I want to talk to you about...”

However, before Mu Wanqiu finished, Jiang He pressed her down on the couch, laughing, “Let’s put business on hold for now. Please sit around for a moment, I’ve just come out of the yard so I’m all dirty. Let me take a bath first.”

Mu Wanqiu promptly flushed.

That’s...

That’s...

That’s not appropriate, was it?

Having the wrong idea about the situation, she promptly rose to her feet and scolded, “Jiang He! I’m here to talk some serious business with you! Moreover, we are only partners and have not progressed that far!”

Firmly flinging his hand away, she turned and was about to storm off, biting her lip as she exclaimed, “If you’re going to play around, I’m leaving!”

“???”

Jiang He was taken aback.

‘I’m playing around?

‘My maid is nowhere to be seen and I’m absolutely panicking. Where would I get the time to play around?’

Jiang He, questioning the meaning of his life promptly scowled and barked, “I’m just asking you to sit around. What the heck are you talking about? And what even are you thinking?”

Thud-thud-thud.

Jiang He promptly went upstairs, leaving Mu Wanqiu embarra.s.sed, unable to decide if she wanted to leave or sit.

She stomped her feet in frustration, cursing, “Hmph! How dare an eternally single man like you scold me!? I... I...”

Even after thinking for a long time, she could not come up with anything ruthless.

Indeed, she could neither defeat Jiang He verbally or in a physically fight.

Sitting on the couch again, Mu Wanqiu could feel her cheeks burning!

How embarra.s.sing... why would I think of that? And what is good about Jiang He? The only things good about him is only his good looks, individual ability, humorous, smart at moneymaking...”

“It’s not like I want that! Hmph!”

***

Upstairs.

Jiang He was searching from bedroom to bedroom.

He could not help becoming furious when he checked one of the beds. He pulled off the sheets with a single motion, barking, “Sora, I told you to cook, and yet you’re here sleeping?”

Beneath those sheets, Sora was sleeping alluringly.

And in her maid costume... she was exceedingly captivating.

Blue with shock, Jiang He muttered, “I planted you so that you would cook and do the dishes, brew tea, ma.s.sage my shoulders and clean the house. What’s more the house is already warm, and I’m a rank-six pinnacle who cultivated to new heights, and my body is already a hearth...”

“Though I think you were just trying to goof off.”

He then barked, “Get up, there’s a guest in the house. Now brew some tea and cook!”

“This maid can’t be relied on at all. She might not know how to cook either.”

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang He could see that he might have to plant a kitchen helper, since his point in planting a maid was so that she would cook and wash the dishes, and nothing else elaborate.

He went downstairs, with Sora gingerly following him.

Mu Wanqiu was thinking about something when she turned and saw them. She almost fell, her eyes widened as she stared tightly at Sora blankly, even feeling a mysterious uneasiness inside.

Meanwhile, Jiang He threw a cuc.u.mber and an eggplant to Sora, saying, “The rice is in the storehouse with the seasoning. Go get them yourself.”

After having given his instructors, he plonked down on the couch while crunching down on a carrot, smiling, “Now, let’s talk. What did you want to speak to me about?”

Mu Wanqiu, however, was staring at Sora in curiosity, watching as she went outside to carry the rice in.

The fifty-catties of rice... that Jiang He had not eaten more than a few servings of.

It appeared to strain with Sora’s small stature.

But after she put down the rice, she went out to get the seasoning...

Jiang He frowned then, exclaiming, “That body is a little weak!”

On the other hand, there was a look of disgust on Mu Wanqiu’s face when she saw Sora’s maid costume, and seethed, “I never expected that you are a person like this, Jiang He!”

“How could you let a frail girl like her do your dirty, heavy labor?

“Since she’s living with you now, you have to take responsibility for her!”

Mu Wanqiu appeared furious.

“What?”

Jiang He was utterly confused and at a loss for words. What was she being annoyed about?

“I’m living alone in a huge house. Is hiring a maid outrageous? And how is carrying rice a dirty, hard labor? If she couldn’t carry it, I’ll come up with something to strengthen her physically so that she could move it more easily.”

“Maid?”

Mu Wanqiu was clearly doubtful. ‘Who are you trying to fool?

‘You are even playing with costumes already, and you tell me that is a maid you hired?’

Giving Mu Wanqiu a look, Jiang He decided that he was not bothered to fight her on it, and asked, “You’ve come about beast taming, didn’t you? How is it? Have you found a target?”

Upon mentioning that matter, Mu Wanqiu turned away from the topic of maids too.

“I’ve read through the information about Ferals near Lingzhou City,” she said, “and I’ve noticed there’s a valley of snakes near Lingzhou City, where a rank-seven python king resides. It also rules over a swarm of pythons, with no lack of rank-six and rank-five pythons.”

Eh?

Jiang He blinked and asked, “Valley of snakes... is it near the Ningdong Mines?”

“You’ve heard of it?”

Mu Wanqiu replied. “That’s right, it’s not too far from Ningdong Mines. By the way, with regards to the python king, it seems that it is only rank-seven intermediate, but the python swarm is huge. If you think you couldn’t handle it, we could pick another solitary target.”

“No...”

Jiang He said awkwardly then. “I’ve already killed the Leopard Python, and I leveled that valley of snakes. Aren’t your information outdated? Still, to tell the truth, the Leopard Python meat is quite delicious. I’ll have Sora cook you a portion later.”
